Enterprise Vault – Client Driven PST Migration

Hello all,

In this article I want to cover the configuration steps of Client Driven PST migration. As we know there are many methods for PST migration. Client Driven, Server Driven, Scripted (enterprise vault policy manager) and import/export methods.

If you want to look, here is a very nice article about Client Driven Migration process (deeply) and it worth a read!

Anyway, let’s begin configuration steps

1- With this method we can archive PST files (connected to user’s outlook profile) to associated user’s archive.

2- With Desktop Policy’s PST Marking options, PST Migrator task is able to migrate PST’s. PST marking option is enabled by default!

3- If you want to use Server Driven Migration, you will need two folders.

4- You can create folders on suitable drives
